Sorry 'bout that

LODI, Calif. — Managers with the state's power grid said there was a miscommunication with the Northern California Power Agency, which led to some unplanned outages for thousands during Tuesday's record-breaking heat. 

"It's regrettable we did have a communication issue," said Elliot Mainzer, chief executive officer of the California Independent System Operator.

"But we may do it again for your own good"

Although the outages were accidental, Howard said they relieved stress on the state's power grid.
